I appreciate many residents have been worried about crime in the Ward over recent months and have become more involved in community vigilance and Facebook group pages. Please continue with this, although the Police do the best we can to patrol the Ward, a local and neighbourly joint effort will help to reduce crime. By working together it will make our Ward less attractive to criminals as there is more chance of being caught and identified.

On a separate note, as Ward Manager I have received numerous complaints, both directly and from our Ward Councillors, about the parking on Green Lane, outside the School and Tesco. Whilst I appreciate parking is limited here, it is dangerous and inconsiderate to park on pavements, yellow lines, zebra crossing approaches and bus stops. As a result six fixed penalty notices have been issued in the last week for these offences. This matter has created strong local feeling, evident from the emails I have received, therefore we will continue to enforce the parking restrictions that are in place.
